Don’t use the web server authentication module for this…

However, once your browser has received a 200 response after the 401, it sends the credentials on all subsequent requests (until it gets another 401). Are your requests being sent before the 200 response comes back? I'd suggest doing some initial request to establish the credentials that happens before you make any other requests. Then later requests should work fine. However, I think I did have trouble getting this login process to work correctly in Chrome... I think I had to disable this http login approach because I couldn't get Chrome to work without throwing up an http auth dialog... This post is 2 1/2 years old!

I have a situation where I must make MANY calls from the brower to the beckend. EACh of these calls (and there are over 200) gets a 401 response , and then the bowser sends the credentials. Do you know of a way to send the credentials on the first request, so as to avvoid the server sending the 401 and the client having to respond with the credebtials? TIA, Russell Hello,

It has made possible, for programmers ranging from dumb to geeks, to create fascinating server applications possible. And even, let them able to create live websites and applications, as PHP/Apache combination is available on all servers linux or windows, with least cost as compared to others. But... There is a very big problem, when programmers opt php as a career as compared to .NET, Flex/Flash, C, C++, JAVA. The reason mainly, it is not centrally controlled, when it comes to providing jobs through PHP. As PHP is opensource, it is taken up by companies, that are notorious as job-masters. While the companies that make .NET, Flex/Flash, C, C++, JAVA etc. have to maintain reputation of being good job-masters ( atleast in theories). However i know, there is no direct relationship, but this works indirectly. I have almost always seen PHP companies, working on weekends, with there programmers engaged giving 16 hours a day. As i said, this is just indirect and blame cannot be put on PHP only. However, it's opensourceness and probably the lack of central control can be blamed. Not sure. :) PHP is a great scripting language no doubt. It has made possible, for programmers ranging from dumb to geeks, to create fascinating server applications possible.
